  4       md           Acorn Squash
    1/2   c            Tofu, soft
  1                    Egg -- plus
  2                    Egg whites
    1/8   ts           Allspice, ground
  2       tb           Honey
                       Pepper, white
                       - freshly ground
  2       tb           Butter, melted

 Directions

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the squash in
 half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, place cut side
 down on a baking sheet and bake until soft, about 1
 hour.

 When cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a
 mixing bowl and mash well. Add the tofu and blend
 thoroughly. In another bowl beat the egg and egg
 whites lightly, then add the squash mixture, spices,
 honey pepper, and butter. Mix well.

 Turn the puree into a shallow 1 quart baking dish. If
 preparing ahead to this point, cover the dish with wax
 paper.

 Bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with
 additional cinnamon, allspice or nutmeg (or all three)
 if desired.
